A New Visual Narrative of Nineteenth-Century Historicism

我将和Caroline van Eck教授以及维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆一起在V&A博物馆ahc博士合作项目中工作。这位博士生将研究七种风格，这些风格在19世纪被认为是人类文化的主要物质组成部分，它们都在V&A的收藏中有代表：埃及、亚述、古典、中世纪欧洲、伊斯兰、中国和印度。我将找出19世纪复兴了每种风格的物品，并将重建这些物品的轨迹，或它们所属的类型，如何在19世纪政治、国家、种族、宗教或文化身份的物质构成中发挥作用。就我个人而言，我感兴趣的是研究在艺术史日益专业化的时代，这与历史写作问题、品味和收藏问题的相互作用，以及这与性别、种族和阶级问题的相互作用，以及在历史与历史主义对象之间可能存在的差异中，真实性的悖论。

I will be working with professor Caroline van Eck and the Victoria and Albert Museum on the V&A MUSEUM AHRCCOLLABORATIVE DOCTORAL PARTNERSHIP. The PhD student will examine seven styles that were considered in thenineteenth century as the major material constituents of human culture, and which are all represented in the V&A'scollections: Egyptian, Assyrian, Classical, Medieval European, Islamic, Chinese and Indian. I will identify nineteenthcenturyobjects that revived each style and will reconstruct how the trajectory of these objects, or the types to which theybelong, functioned in the material constitution of political, national, ethnic, religious or cultural identities in the nineteenthcentury. Personally, I am interested in researching how this interacts with issues of history writing at a time of growingprofessionalisation of art history, issues of taste and collecting, and how this intersects with issues of gender, ethnicity,and class, as well as the paradoxes of authenticity working in the possible differences between the historic versus thehistoricist object.
